(Quote) I use Ubuntu LTS but upgrade every two years, typically after XX.04.1 version comes out. I have Debian on smaller machines, but haven't experienced an upgrade so far. I like to live close to the edge. I'm definitely not waiting 5 years to t…

Everyone should switch to Ubuntu LTS or Debian Stable. I do not use RHEL derivatives because, as a geocacher, the word "DNF" has a negative meaning. (Image) Push-ups solve all the problems. Serve push-up videos from all your VPS. Never…

(Quote) Cheapest is ColonCrossing. (Image) Premium providers are on Clouvider. Asian-optimized providers are on Psychz Networks.

Web-based jailed FreeBSD shell accounts, supported by advertising. You already have the perfect logo for that.

Auction can potentially increase profits but it comes with a risk of having to sell at lower than cost. It cannot prevent reselling.

(Quote) Virmach has been selling to fraudsters and spammers for years on rented platform, and they haven't deadpooled yet. (Quote) Business is hard. Looks like I shouldn't attempt to enter this market as a provider. (Quote) In this case, the VPS c…

(Quote) This server is compiling large programs. The Go linker is reading many files. I'm hoping for even faster compilation. (Quote) It's ext4 filesystem on Intel NVMe. I'll consider ZFS when it's due for reinstall. Occupied memory is 128GB of hu…

(Quote) I'm not making money. F-1 and J-1 visa holders are not allowed to make money. I build websites and apps for giggles and LOLz. (Quote) That's true. I built my own virtual machine management software before Vagrant becomes popular. (Quote) A…

(Quote) Good to know. It's Google Compute Engine offering per-second billing. Their egress traffic is pretty expensive though. (Quote) Virmach would definitely suspend if you exceed 33% for more than 10 minutes. Clueless Administrator LLC would pro…

(Quote) SLURM is widely used in supercomputing to manage job queues. You have to figure out the bidding and micropayments side of things. There is a vulnerability when the same person own the clearinghouse and a provider: * Let's say Incompetent A…

(Quote) I have a different idea. These non-time-sensitive, compute-heavy jobs, such as video encoding or machine learning, are more suitable in a batch system. * Customers post their jobs to a queue: program (Docker container), command, input files…

(Quote) On VPS: High CPU, high IO, high load => suspend. I want to encode 1-minute of push-up videos, once a week. It would be a few minutes of high CPU on Ryzens. However, I'm too scared to do that on a "fair share" VPS. I can't affo…

(Quote) I don't have current service with any of the above. They are too premium for me. I had two of my firsts with these providers. My first KVM box was from RamNode in 2012, 256MB, $11.35 quarterly. I canceled after one quarter because OpenVZ is…

My favorite is https://bgp.he.net/ It has a clean interface and information about BGP peers. However, there's no geolocation feature.

(Quote) There's only one official troll. I wonder how to submit an application for a troll tag. As for the drama, HostLoc has even more of them. HostLoc is infiltrating LET these days. Every time I see a "user banned please carry on", I g…

(Quote) I met the designers of the NIST Randomness Beacon and asked a question similar to this. Their answer is that, you can aggregate the results of multiple randomness beacons controlled in different countries by different agencies. It is improba…

(Quote) A drawback of using RANDOM.ORG is that there's no way to prove that the administrator did not run the randomizer more than once. A more trustworthy method is to use the NIST Randomness Beacon: * Prepare the list of entries. * Pick a time i…

(Quote) Too late. Already terminated. Cyber Monday was Nov 30 and billing cycle ended on Dec 01. I didn't even have enough time to migrate the services, so that now my push-up video site is operating at reduced capacity. It was on EDU50 promo code.…

(Quote) China is worse. I don't live in China so I can't test directly. You may try: * http://ping.pe/ has several nodes in China, ping and mtr * https://ping.chinaz.com/ has more nodes but ping only * https://tool.chinaz.com/tracert/ has tracerout…

(Quote) Looks like I have competition. (Quote) That's my (patent pending) idea! (Quote) LEB has a deadpool category, but the conversation goes like this: * LEB: let's put AlphaRacks and their owner's name on the deadpool category. * RackNerd: if …

(Quote) I need to clean up the code and write a tutorial on how to build your own push-up video site. I think @swat4 has enough powerful boxes that they would be able to encode videos on a VPS instead of having to encode on the laptop. Push-ups sol…

I name my boxes vps0-vps9, so I'm only allowed up to ten boxes. After this Black Friday, my list is: * vps5: Virmach KVM-Lite 384MB in Buffalo (2017 BF), Asterisk and QUIC-UDP gateway * vps7: SmartHost KVM 2GB in Los Angeles (2019 April), main webs…

(Quote) I had one 5-year-old user sitting on my back. However, my father wasn't pleased when he saw that photo. (Quote) EPYC has a feature of dividing a single processor into two or four NUMA nodes. It would offer better isolation for some containe…

(Quote) This sounds like a hoarding situation. You need to see a doctor. No, not the @HostDoc . I had the same problem with microcontrollers… 10 ESP8266 and ESP32 boards under my bed…
